It just seemed like EVERYBODY was doing it. We were chased by dogs through the woods, and then got picked up by the COPS on our way home. My glasses fogged up in the cop car, so I directed the cop to the wrong house. Finally we straightened everything out, and we arrived at my home, where we were greeted at the front door by my little brother in his underwear. Seriously. For some reason, my mom was fine with the small amount of mischief (we didn't do anything damaging to property) and worked things out with the cop. I don't even think my mom called my friend's parents--she would have been grounded for life! After the cop left our house, my friend slept over, and I threw up all over her at some point during the night. I guess the excitement got to me! And--to this day, she's still my best friend--isn't she awesome?!Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-14161532936008694402010-05-20T08:03:59.877-04:002010-05-20T08:03:59.877-04:00Do you just say Glass Slipper!!!!

But it was all a lie. <br /><br />In Indonesia, if you've been married more than a year and don't have kids it's concidered VERY bad. So after a few months of wagging fingers I finally started lying to stop the frowns and whispers. <br /><br />I have to say, Jacob and Keira were quite the handful.Christina Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459203755170266842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-78383982881334681912010-05-19T23:38:45.639-04:002010-05-19T23:38:45.639-04:00Cute book premise!

Thanks!
My answer:
Y...How nice of Kay to do that. Thanks!<br /><br />My answer:<br /><br />You know that adage, if your friend jumped off a cliff would you do it too? Well, yeah, I did. The popular weekend hang out in high school was a cove at nearby lake. I was chickening out to dive off the cliffs into the water, so my BFF said on the count of three we'd jump together. Only problem was in my panic to not lose my Ms. Brave Outdoorsy Girl image, I didn't look before I leaped. There was a flat rock jutting out of the water and I landed on it. You want to look cool? Try limping out of the woods with half the high school watching you bleed from a huge abrasion wound on your thigh, two sprained ankles and one broken tail bone. Hieght of cool. (But the bitterest part was that I was the only sober one there.) <br /><br />It didn't help me fit in, BTW, but I tried. :o)Jackeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351019926958000627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-70805849692892859562010-05-19T21:04:43.292-04:002010-05-19T21:04:43.292-04:00Great contest - what an awesome prize!!

We had a donkey, too)<br /><br />THE PROBLEM:<br /><br />THE RING was a bit tighter than when I had got married...the quality of those made in CHINA products are very iffy...<br />BUT - Did I mention I live in Greece? Well, we have an abundance of olive oil, so I used great quantities trying to squeeze the flipping thing back onto that naked little ring finger...<br /><br />Feeling finally superior with my new look, I made a great entrance and show to all the other MAMA'S brandishing my adorned "piglet" (that's what the bloody finger looked like squashed to death with that metallic girdle) ...YES - The effect was breathtaking...they just stared...and stared...till finally one brave matron cleared her throat and asked:<br /><br />"Oh, do you wear your wedding ring on the OTHER hand in non-Orthodox countries, then ?<br /><br />*.........................*<br />(the sound of my stunned silence)<br /><br />My adorable DONKEY....I MEAN HUBBY...did a removal operation shortly after as I was in severe danger of loosing my finger to gangrene....he also had the ring enlarged - 4 SIZES!!<br /><br />HEY LADIES - that slipper isn't made in CHINA is it...?Ann Marie Wraighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524746255813452836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-24347639647840411762010-05-19T15:58:19.699-04:002010-05-19T15:58:19.699-04:00I got a perm which made me look like a poodle.

To be considered "cool", I forged a letter from the popular guy I had a crush on. When it came time to start showing "his letter" to my friends, my character kicked in and stopped me because it wasn't ethical. Side note: he went on to become a bit of a (insert non-flattering word here) and later actually flirted with me ...
